Carita · 2012

Fresh · Floral · Sweet

Carita (2012) is a fresh, powdery floral built around rose, violet and iris, and it is described as a women's perfume. Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate. Voters lean towards spring first and autumn second, and name daily wear, leisure and business as the main settings. Most call its character feminine, with the rest saying modern or classic. It opens with rosebud, bergamot and Paradisone® for a bright start. In the heart, violet, iris, heliotrope and rose add a soft, powdery floral layer. The base of musk, amber and vanilla closes it creamy and sweet. Harry Lehmann Hyazinthe and L'Erbolario Iris have a close profile.

Carita · 1997

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Carita is a fresh, floral women's fragrance: citrus and fruit brightness that softens into a powdery, sweet vanilla. It has been discontinued. Its longevity is rated moderate, though few people have voted, so that is only a rough guide. It is made for women, and no single season or occasion stands out. The top notes of bergamot, mandarin orange and raspberry open fresh and fruity. Ylang-ylang, jasmine, lily of the valley and May rose turn the heart into a floral garden. The base of Bourbon vanilla, orris root and musk closes it in a powdery, gourmand, slightly woody sweetness. Chloé SeeByChloé and Givenchy Dance with Givenchy have a close profile.
